The 91 meter long, 600 dwt ro-ro passenger ferry Dharma Kencana II ran aground at the mouth of the Kapuas River off Kalimantan, Indonesia. The ferry was approaching the port of Pontianak with 873 passengers from Semarang when it grounded.  Unable to refloat itself, authorities determined to evacuate the ferry.  All 873 passengers were taken ashore safely.  No reports of injuries or pollution released.
